Develop Bugs

Hi I'm going to purchase a gnez

What I am wondering is, I would like to go to Verizon to get the 4g lte and enjoy my nez to the full potential, although I think that development isn't moving along a due to lack of support or lack of gsm. If I buy a gnez for Verizon will I bee missing out on movement?

Gnex.
And lack of development?
I've seen more CDMA (Verizon) only roms than visa-versa.
And there are only a couple.
You're not going to miss anything.

Great new guys go to wirefly to get your gnez

Did you guys ever visit elect-band.com to buy a Gnez?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

its GNex not Gnez... but I prefer calling it GN.

I have the Google Nexus GSM and I'm very happy with it. Please remember that the Nexus family is a Developers family (although any user could work with it) applying custom ROMS is very easy and can be done in a lot of ways since the phone was made to be tempered with.
The community for custom ROMS and android development is very active for the phone you are about to admire and cherish.
some note for you:
Install an app that disables the 4g when the phone sits in your pocket... some people around here noticed the batery drains very fast when you leave 4g on in your pocket!
but to be honest. I life in the Netherlands and we haven't got 4G over here... even 3G loads websites, music and movies amazingly fast. as for browsing you could use Chrome which is released for android 4.0 users.
Hop on and enjoy the ride with nexus!

Would you trust the website I mentioned to buy a almost new gnez for almost 215 dollars or does if come off like a rip off?

Huh? Wirefly has it for $79.99 if you're starting a new contract. Any other place buying it used, that's up to you to decide.
And for Christ's sake its a Galaxy Nexus, not a Galaxy Nezus.

I'm trying to go month to month so I can end service and reactivate when necessary, any body got a good shot to shoot at this?

Well buy it used anywhere you want and make sure the ESN is clean. Then just go activate it with Verizon month to month.

Don't go to elec-band.com, they are rip-off artists

Hey look I was just looking over the ROM lists for the gsm and lte versions, and it seems the lte version had less roms, is that because of the Verizon network?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

No, thats because the gsm version has been around for a few months now and the lte verdion was just recently released to the market

I'll have to disagree here. I believe the difference comes down to market penetration.
GSM = World phone (anyone worldwide)
LTE = Verizon customers only.
The more phones out there, the more developers will work with that phone.

Just checked and yes... sorry.
Then my guess would be that you guys in US have 4g networks together with switserland and just a handfull of other countries. So the only roms floating around would come from these places.
I could buy an lte device in the Netherlands using ebay or so but there would be no way to go beyond 3g around here for me. And going to switserland to check my mail lightning fast would mean that i had to drive there and pay €5,- (± $7,-) for every downloaded/uploaded MB...

Sprint Wallet $40 Bonus

Anyone here actually receive their $40 bonus yet? Just hoping I'm not messing anything up flashing all these roms. I did get the initial $10 and have spent it all, just wondering how long until I get the extra $40.

Sprints supposed to send it when you have the phone after a month. Not sure how the above poster got it already.

Let us know what they say...I've had mine the friday before the nexus hit stores and I have yet to get it.

i got mine the friday before release.... still no bonus? maybe only brand new activations? (used to have nexus s 4g with wallet)
the pre order email said something liek 4 weeks right?

No, it states that if you activate google wallet on a Galaxy Nexus for Sprint you will be credited. You are suppose to deactivate it on another device and reactivate it on the new one. I didn't activate mine until the GNexus was released for that purpose. The MEID is recorded and that's how Sprint knows you have activated it.

Got mine 4/20. Tomorrow will be 3 weeks. Still only have the 10 bux. I hope us early preorder-ers aren't screwed cuz we activated before 4/22 like the promo says.

Edit: Sprint Rep = Clueless
Please disregard my last post, Sprint reps are sometimes clueless and gave me the Citi MasterCard number.
So I called up Money Network and they stated that after activation it will take up to 3 weeks as expected but some may get it sooner. There is no way to check and see but as long as you got the $10 and your account is active you will get it. If for some reason you don't get it within 3 weeks call up money network @ (855) 896-0693.

If you can, you can always open a new line and buy one on contract. Its about $199 + plan + $10 for extra line. Or find one on craigslist with a CLEAN ESN. Make sure its clean and can be activated.

thought about that, but at 350 for ETF and 200 for new line...$550

For what it's worth, I did overhear a T-Mo representative say their LTE services will be launching in select markets within the next few months. This is in line with their 2013 dates, so I didn't question it too much.
This was at a retail store in the ghetto of St. Louis, so I don't take it for much more than hearsay from him.

Maybe L stands for lite or little? As in s3 mini?

That be nice for someone who doesn't already have the s3.. now we might as well wait for the s4.

I thought the gs3 t-mobile was already LTE, are you telling me only that international edition gs3 gets all the good benefits, is 4g all that the gs3 is capable of? Lame they under powered it under did it over messed the tmobile gs3 up. How is it all that different from the gs2 tmobile if it doesn't even have lte capability.

It's pretty much he says, she says at this point. There are people on this site who claim our phone is already LTE ready but then there are others who say no way our phone is LTE ready. I don't know but I sure am enjoying the phone, just wish I would have knew about the whole LTE thing.

Its good news if you dont have a GS3 and you were thinking of buying one. I personally wouldn't buy it since the GS3 has been out for over 6 months now. It's not a long time, but in smart phone time it is. I would wait for something in the first half of 2013.

This is irrelevant, this phone will probably be release around the same time as the S4 which I'm sure will come with LTE by then.
I heard that LTE is already being tested in some secret areas, I think I saw it on Tmo News.
I would pass on this and wait on what's to come.
Powered by the SGSIII

Tmobile isn't even ready for lte yet, they are testing it so it wouldnt matter if our phones got LTE capability now.
Plus like one of the previous posters said, we are getting up to like 25mbps of 4g and i download huge movies very quickly and stream netflix and youtbe hd without any problems so just what is the point for super fast LTE? IT'S pointless for now for my smartphone. Pretty soon when the world begins to stream bluray 50gb movies then LTE will come in handy but for now when most movies are like 4gb or less no need for lte for me.

Reason why most of us wouldn't need LTE

That's how I got my Galaxy Note 2 today. I only had my Galaxy S3 for 13 months but I still got the Note 2 for free. The catch was I had to increase my plan by $26 for 24 months. I also enrolled in the jump program. So I ended up spending around $60 today and I kept my GS3. They offered me $190 for it.

wait i thought with the JUMP! program, you had to trade in your old device?

Honestly, T-Mobile always sells phones a bit more expensive then they actually retail for.
If I had seriously wanted the S4 I'd root my S3 that's in flawless condition with a Balistick SG Maxx case, have it prerooted stock 4.1.2 and sell it for 350$. Then go on eBay turn around and buy the international unlocked version of the S4 for like 250$ more. It's more expensive out right, but much cheaper in the long run.
Been on my mother's T-Mobile phone line since I was a kid and had a Motorola RAZR v3. So more than 12 years for sure when she started using T-Mobile. Somewhere in 1999 I fink.
